VOLTCRAFT SDM-115 Coating Thickness Gauge User Manual

1. Pengenalan

The VOLTCRAFT SDM-115 Coating Thickness Gauge is designed to quickly and accurately measure the coating thickness on metallic surfaces. This device helps determine if a painted or repaired surface requires repainting or further repair. It is suitable for use on both ferromagnetic (e.g., steel) and non-ferromagnetic (e.g., aluminum) metals, offering a measurement range of 0-1000 µm.

4.1 Pemasangan Bateri

The VOLTCRAFT SDM-115 requires batteries for operation (not included). To install batteries:

1. Locate the battery compartment cover, typically on the handle of the device.
2. Luncurkan atau buka klip penutup untuk membuka petak.
3. Insert the required batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Tutup penutup petak bateri dengan selamat.

5. Arahan Operasi

5.1 Menghidupkan/Mematikan

Press and hold the trigger or power button (if available) to turn the device on. The display will illuminate. To turn off, press and hold the same button or wait for automatic shutdown.

5.2 Mengambil Pengukuran

To take an accurate coating thickness measurement:

1. Ensure the measurement surface is clean, dry, and free of debris.
2. Place the sensor head of the gauge firmly and perpendicularly onto the surface to be measured.
3. The device will automatically display the coating thickness reading on the screen.
4. Lift the device from the surface to prepare for the next measurement.

5.3 Menukar Unit Pengukuran

The device supports measurement in both mils and micrometers (µm). To switch between units, press the button labeled mils/µm pada panel kawalan.

6. Penentukuran

For optimal accuracy, especially when measuring different materials or after prolonged use, two-point calibration is recommended. The device features a CAL button for initiating the calibration process.

While the exact steps for two-point calibration may vary, generally it involves:

1. Placing the gauge on a known zero-thickness surface (e.g., bare metal).
2. Menekan CAL button and following on-screen prompts to set the zero point.
3. Placing the gauge on a surface with a known standard thickness (e.g., a calibration foil).
4. Menekan CAL button again and using the arrow buttons to adjust the reading to match the known standard thickness.
5. Confirming the calibration.

Refer to the detailed instructions provided with your specific calibration foils or the full product manual for precise calibration procedures.

7. Penyelenggaraan

7.1 Pembersihan

Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the sensor head is kept clean and free of dust or residue for accurate readings.

7.2 Penyimpanan

Simpan peranti di tempat yang sejuk dan kering, jauh daripada cahaya matahari langsung dan suhu yang melampau. Jika menyimpan untuk tempoh yang lama, tanggalkan bateri untuk mengelakkan kebocoran.

8. Penyelesaian masalah

• Peranti tidak dihidupkan: Periksa pemasangan bateri dan pastikan bateri tidak habis. Gantikan bateri jika perlu.
• Bacaan tidak tepat atau tidak konsisten:
  • Ensure the sensor head is clean and free of debris.
  • Perform a two-point calibration as described in Section 6.
  • Verify the measurement surface is clean, dry, and flat.
  • Ensure the device is placed perpendicularly and firmly on the surface.
• Device beeps excessively or shows unusually high values: This often indicates a need for calibration. Follow the calibration steps in Section 6 carefully. Ensure you are using appropriate calibration standards.
